My Birthday - 22 Jan

22 Janwoke up kinda early today 'cause i'd to work on morning shift... blew my top at a boy of primary 3, who's famous among we tutors for his playfulness + stupidity + laziness, etc.. we, especially wen xin and i who are teaching him, hate him a lot as he always gives us a lot of trouble... one have to be very patient and cool to be his tutor... sadly, i've not been able to tolerate his behaviour... luckily, i only have to teach him on saturdays, compared to poor wen xin who's teaching him 5 days a week :Pbesides, i've another terrible student, who happens to be the only female student of mine... (i think i'v mentioned about this girl in one of my previous posts) she's quite intelligent, compared to that boy mentioned above, but she's naughtier and more playful than him. recently, she has picked up a habit of stretching out her legs to make her classmates fall... we tutors are given the right to cane students on their palms. however, this particular girl seems to know that we can only cane them on their palms. so, whenever i wanted to cane her, she'd just hide her hands behind her and i'd no other choice but to just shout at her... *sighafter class, one of my colleagues, wen shi secretly put a greeting card into my sling bag... wow, thanks for remembering my birthdate!went to minyak beku and had steamboat with my family, my youngest uncle's family and my paternal grandparents... i was so lucky to scoop up a dead housefly from the boat! met kwee shien and her family there too..invited some friends to a cafe in bkt pasir... some of them took the trouble to come after a long day of work... thanks ya!
23 Janwent for kuliah this morning and had my first experience of driving! haha... the kuliah was not at all informative... it was full of jokes... we were told to be responsible or rather berhemah drivers though... a guy asked me for my contact number but i politely refused.. haha.. well, i really didn't know him!was too nervous when i was learning to control the clutch and... you bet! ...got scolded by the tutor...
24 Janmy colleagues: wan yea, ching siu, swee fung and cute twin sisters wen xin and wen shi bought a cheese cake for me... they wanted to buy one for me on my birthday last saturday but i was rushing home then. wow... i'm so touched... thanks!
29 Janhmm.. luckily that naughty boy didn't give me much trouble today.. wen xin and wen shi brought a pot of green beans soup... it's really nice 'cause i'd sore throat... we devoured this cooling soup after work and chatted about kids at the tuition centre... haha, as all of us are female, we were chatting like those aunties :P after that, we went to a boutique next door to look at some new-arrive clothes... at the end, none of us bought any of them 'cause they were all too expensive!
30 Janam sick today... have sore throat and slight fever... found out that wen xin and wen shi are hakkas... (edited on 6th of feb)

New Bloggers

found out that yeen/'>http://yeenshuang.blogspot.com">Yeen Shuang and shing/'>http://shingcheng.blogdrive.com">Shing Cheng has become bloggers too.. kampate!!have been working for 2 weeks.. tired of acting fierce in front of my students (primary 3-5).. couldn't blame them, it's my duty to teach them what... moreover, they wouldn't be sent to tuition classes if they're obedient kids who would automatically do their homework.. well, that's life of being a tutor..there's this primary 3 boy who's strong (actually a fatty) but wouldn't carry his school bag on his own, just because he has a maid! some kids today are really fortunate, but i don't envy them 'cause i can do these simple things on my own.. well, i consider them as handicaps (no offence).i'm teaching 2 P4 boys and 2 P5 boys in the afternoon, 5 boys and a girl of P3 at night. that means, i've only one female student! and she's the naughtiest student out of the 10 students of mine! well, i think the reason for this could be that she's studying in a formerly all-boys school- cheng siu...we had a meeting last saturday after work.. our boss who's the marketing manager of a supermarket in my town told us lots of his stories which bored us to death! my stomach was grumbling but i had to keep nodding my head and pay attention to his granpa's stories... he told us to be serious and dedicated at work although this job's a temporary one to us; all of us are either waiting for the release of SPM or STPM results. he even asked us to write a report everyday!visitted my secondary school last week.. met some teachers.. my biology teacher, cik faridah told me pharmacy's a very boring course and recommended genetic engineering.. well, as far as i know, genetic engineers have to handle corpse or rather body samples and extract DNAs from them or involve in agricultural sectors, which is more boring to me. she told me that one of her friends who is an ecologist, works as a consultant and earns a lot. but according to my dad, it's very stressful working in a coorporate. my aim is to get a job with light workload and not high-demanding. i want to have plenty of time to take care of my family, especially my children. i want to coach them in their studies on my own and not sending them to tuition centres like the one i'm working now.. sounds like i'm an old lady huh? lol.. well, that's me *wink*
